jj big shoe Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 From you picture it looks like two springs are tapered and two aren't. Once you get the old springs off, take a look at the ends and match 'em up. The new ones should have the same diameter on the ends as the old ones so they seat in the spring perches.

Trialsin26 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Front took we 10 hour and the was with the right tools but not so good spring comperssors. Taking the old springs off and putting the new ones on take the most time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Man Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 The back should be no trouble. But I'd get someone else to do the front. You'll save yourself a lot of time and trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianPathyNut Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) ALL DONE!!!!!!! I finished it over the weekend but was just waiting to get some pictures of it all done, I think it looks good with the stock rims, but I am thinking of getting some top of the line mud tires, any recomendations? it seems this past week was "Lift Week" there were alot of lifts done recently and they all look good.

XPLORx4 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I am thinking of getting some top of the line mud tires, any recomendations? Super Swampers are probably the best mud tires. What kind of mud to you intend to drive through that requires top-of-the-line mud tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianPathyNut Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 What kind of mud to you intend to drive through that requires top-of-the-line mud tires? I don't think I will encounter much mud at all here is SoCal but i figure mud is one of the hardest things to get through when off-roading and I want the best traction I can get in any situation, maybe I don't need mud tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 i would get the BFG MT's they have a harder tread than most MTs (imo) so they last longer and they have an awesome aggressive looking tread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Well, you really gotta figure out what kind of off-roading you do. If your truck is driven on a daily basis, and you don't do a whole lot of agressive off-roading, you're better off with a less agressive tire such as the BFG AT or the Bridgestone Dueler AT/Revo. AT tires are less expensive, quieter, last longer, have better highway manners and get better gas mileage than MT tires. Plus, your ride is pretty blingin' [that's a compliment] for MT tires. Unless you only want MT tires to add more bling (which IMO is being a little too poseurish), go with an AT tire like the ones I mentioned above. On the other hand, if you plan to regularly get your truck dirty, aren't afraid of paint scratches or (gasp!) a dented step-rail or two, and are on your way to building a serious 4x4, the BFG MT or the Goodyear MTR are excellent choices for daily driver/weekend warrior rigs.

rosspbig Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Go with the Goodyear MT/Rs or the BFG MTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joehurdler Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Looks bad a$$! Nice work on the detailing/wax job. What's your detailing routine? I usually use Meguires wash with the NXT Wax, but don't think I get it looking that good though. Later, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
